Hi, at some point I wanted to change who the main person was on the tree. I can't remember what I did but the "home" person is now different from the person listed as the founder, which is fine. However, I noticed that in a reason update I can't add parents to someone who already exists in the family tree. I can only create a new branch, which essentially just creates a new tree with only Darcy's relatives.

I don't want that. I want to add to the current tree.

I understand I might have messed up my permissions by intitally changing the home person but I no longer have access to the fouinder's view since I deleted that.

tldr: is there a way to get my original permissions and access back or to restore the founder's tree? It is all the same account. I did not create a new one.
